Minibus driver James Johnson has been jailed for six years and eight months for causing the M62 hen party coach crash.
Bethany Jones, 18, died in the crash which happened when she and friends and family were on their way to a hen party.
One of the women injured in the M62 minibus crash today told a court that none of the 20 passengers were wearing seatbelts when it was hit by a lorry.
Ashley Warner said there were seatbelts on the 24-seater bus - but the driver did not say anything about wearing them.
Miss Warner, who was herself seriously injured and spent a long time in hospital, also spoke of concern expressed by some of the party that they could smell burning - before the minibus had got onto the M62.
She said the driver had pulled over near Darrington on the A1 and looked under the bonnet but then continued with the journey from South Elmsall to Liverpool.
Miss Warner said she was so concerned she had rung her boyfriend, who worked for the RAC but he hadn't answered.
By the time the minibus joined the M62 she said the coach was travelling at about 10 to 15 mph in the slow lane.
"It was travelling really slowly because we were joking that Jan, one of the ladies on the coach who is really fit, could run quicker," she said.
She said other motorists were aware of their speed because "a couple of wagons went past us sounding their horns, things like that".
18-year-old trainee nurse Bethany Jones was killed in the hen party accident in April last year.
Minibus driver James Johnson has admitted causing her death by dangerous driving. The lorry driver, Kevin Ollerhead, denies the same charge and his trial continues at Leeds Crown Court.
At around 11pm on Friday night police were called to Darley Avenue in Athersley to reports that a man had been stabbed.
